- In small bowl, stir pesto and chicken broth. Pour over chicken thighs, and spread evenly with spoon.

- Bruschetta-Topped Chicken: In medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes, 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.
